Hi MadMax1412,
Secunias philosophy for the Simple mode in the PSI is "better to patch 1 program than none at all." By reading the functions of each scanner i.e. OSI/PSI the OSI only scans 70 programs whereas the PSI does hundreds in Simple or Advance mode. Again by reading the functions of each mode
Simple mode only does 'easy to patch' programs where Advance requires a little more technical skills to patch some programs.
This is the reason for the Forum. If you have a problem patching a
program just post the details here & someone will 'stop by' to lend a helping hand.

The only reason I came across this was due to my weekly email from WindowsSecret, which btw, was how I was introduced to PSI in the first place.

The section from this week's newsletter read:

[/QUOTE]Secunia's Personal Software Inspector (PSI) and other tools are designed to identify out-of-date applications. PSI is free for home use and available on the Secunia site.

Unfortunately, many Windows Secrets readers report that they're getting inconsistent results when they use PSI. Whenever I encounter difficulties like this, I uninstall and then reinstall the program. After I reboot the machine, the detection problems are usually fixed. You can also compare PSI's scan results with those of Secunia's Online Software Inspector (OSI) service.[/UNQUOTE]

I'm glad to know that there's nothing to worry about and will investigate patching those programs shown under the "Advanced View" and will contact the forum if I have any problems.
